Thankful Thursday XV

I think I should pick back up on this weekly posting of Thankful Thursdays.  I haven't posted one since THANKSGIVING!

Here are a couple things I've been thankful for since the end of November:

40. Courtships and pregnancies - 'nuff said.  Well, maybe not completely enough, because I think godly courtships are beautiful and then pregnancies about a year later are so exciting! And this all happening before I've lived 2 decades!

41. Conferences where you meet people who you can become good friends with in ... 5 minutes ... and where 17 girls share a room and goof off for hours into the wee hours of the morning.  Yeah, that's what happened at a WORK conference.  Good times... that I sorely miss.

42. Watching Sunrises behind trees ... while reading Bible ... swinging under a huge Texan tree (that I couldn't identify) ... 6 am in the morning ... ~ mid-30s F ... freezing my legs and fingers.  Deeeeelicious!

43. Laughter - not mine, but others.  I LOVE seeing and making people laugh... I feel like I've done a good deed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Last one, but most hilarious (to me)!

44. Seeing God flip things upside down (figuratively) - My thoughts are kind of jumbled on this one, so I'm going to use a bunch of basic subject-verb structures.  I received my official GMAT scores online today.  I opened up the .pdf . I screamed.  I got a 6.0 on the writing section!!  Just so you know, the Analytical Writing Assessment is scored on a scale of 1 to 6, by a human grader and a computer grader.  The final score is an average of the 2 scores, which means the 2 graders BOTH gave me a 6.0!!  This section is the section I felt LEAST prepared for, and God deemed it right to give me the highest grade possible.

Funniest part?  God flipped EVERYTHING around.
Here's a list of how I prefer section in GMAT:

  1. Quantitative
  2. Verbal
  3. AWA

Here's the order of my percentiles:

  1. AWA (91%)
  2. Verbal (89%)
  3. Quantitative (75%)

Mom says that just means I have a lot of room to improve, which I'd agree with because I was definitely expecting a higher math score.  BUT I also know God was trying to tell me He did the impossible and that He will continue to do that through me.  I'm blessed and I don't know the half of it.

And Jsis said the sweetest thing to me today after I found out my writing score, "[CJ], your writing is good," in a tone like, "Why are you surprised?"


Now if the admissions office would just think so highly of my essays, I should be good to go!  May God's will be done.

Blessings,
CJ

    Praise the Lord! It does look like God is trying to prove to you that it's Him working :-)

Internal Emotional Wearing-down

Where I've come from: I have been driven by fear and a desire to please people. I hate that. I thought I could live for my own values and beliefs... but I haven't been able to. Not until this past Sunday. I told my mother off... I was breaking down inside. I have wanted to die for over a year now. Everything seemed hopeless. Not so much for me, but for my purpose and effective work on planet earth. I saw no fruit. I could labor for the rest of my days to live and serve my God. And never ever see the results... and not that I need to see something... but because I knew that what I did WAS POINTLESS. I was doing nothing. And it was because in my mother's eyes, I would never be ready. I would never be enough. She thought she was protecting. She wasn't letting me grow. I can't do more if all you let me do is what is safe. ~CJ

Thankful Thursday XI

Aaaggghhh... I am so behind in the blogging world, like one of my friends says, " it's not even funny. " *sighs*  And I didn't get the chance to blog the Phriday Photos / Funnies - so I'll do a double one tomorrow :) . Anyways - what I'm thankful for this week: 30. BLOGS!!! - I'll admit it. When I first heard the word "blog", I thought the cyberworld couldn't get any sillier.  Well, way to go, CJ. Just join the silliness. Evidently the silliness has its advantages O.O . It's a place for me to rant, rave, and ramble, whether or not my readers want to see it.  It helps me organize my wordy thoughts.  And!! I can share what's been on my mind without having to know if people are looking at me strangely... hehe.  A more serious reason: I can share and read other's testimonies on how God is answering prayers: Answereth All !! *big smile* 31. 2 jobs - It's strange to say my piano teaching is a job, since I really enjoy telli...

Friday Funnies III / Phriday Fotos II

Asis: Woah - I just swallowed a ton of food. Jsis: Most people do... Asis: I meant at ONE time!! ________________________________________________________ A 5yo boy from Sunday School comes up to me holding a toy train and says, "LOOK! I am a fixer train . I'm the train that takes broken trains on the track to the fixer factory ." ________________________________________________________ Here's an excerpt from Anne of the Island  that makes me laugh every time I read it: [Anne] "You won't say naughty words, or run away on Sundays, or tell falsehoods to cover up your sins?" "No. It doesn't pay," said Davy. "Well, Davy, just tell God you are sorry and ask Him to forgive you." "Have YOU forgiven me, Anne?" "Yes, dear." "Then," said Davy joyously, "I don't care much whether God does or not." "Davy!" "Oh -- I'll ask Him -- I'll ask Him," said Davy qu...
